NL Acoustics’ Success Story Set to Continue with New Majority Owner
Founded in 2015 by current CEO Kai Saksela and CTO Jonas Nyberg, NL Acoustics specializes in advanced acoustic imaging instruments. The company’s easy-to-use acoustic cameras are designed and manufactured in Finland and used for predictive maintenance purposes, such as locating faults, making production processes more efficient, and saving energy and costs. Over 90 % of NL Acoustics' production goes to export and the most important customers are currently in industry and the energy sector, but new applications of the company’s products are constantly being discovered. The fast-growing company currently employs close to 50 people and is located in Pitäjänmäki, Helsinki. "Being part of the Teledyne family brings us a lot of synergies in the areas of R&D, sourcing and production", says Jonas Nyberg, CTO of NL Acoustics. ”We look forward to joining forces with Teledyne Flir and utilizing their decades-long expertise to develop cutting-edge methods and solutions”, he concludes.
